Sync your photos manually using the Finder
You can use the Finder on your Mac to sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from the Photos app, or from a folder on your computer. Each time that you sync your iOS device with your computer, the photos and videos on your iOS device update to match the albums on your computer. If you have photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that aren't on your computer, follow these steps to import them.
- Open a Finder window and connect your device to your computer using a USB cable.
- Your device appears in the sidebar of the Finder window. Click the device to select it.
- If prompted, trust your device.
- Click the Photos tab below your device's information.
- Select the checkbox next to Sync photos to your device from, then select Photos or a folder on your Mac.
- Choose between syncing all your photos and albums or only selected albums. You can also choose to sync only favorites, and whether to include videos.
- Click the Apply button in the lower-right corner of the window. If syncing doesn't start automatically, click the Sync button.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RESPONDING
I’m trying sync my photos on my iPad to my iMac. My goal is to be able to delete photos off my iPad Air and iPhone 6.
See above picture. When I click on Finder and then Sidebar, the Categories are Favorites, Devices & Tags. My Devices are CHRISTINE’s iMac (2) and Remote Disc. I have no “remote disc” connected to my iMac (2012).
Thank you Lyssa (what a pretty name!)
